DD turns 17 next week, and we've agreed to buy a small car (that will then be used by her 15YO brother when he's 17). We're looking to pay a maximum of £5k (thanks current secondhand car market!), and would love any advice that those who've already done it have.
Would you buy from a car forecourt/private seller, 3 door vs 5 door, good insurance rates and insurers? All advice gratefully received.
We looked at some cars today, she was keen on a Fiat 500, I was keen on a Hyundai i10, DH keen on a Skoda Citigo. All small engive sizes and low/no tax (actually, I really liked a Hyundai ix20, but it was a 1.4l engine, so probably not a great insurance prospect).
